At the time they played them? no they weren't playing good, but now is a different story

Let's be real. Have the Eagles really been tested? I'm not discounting their recent success but aside from Green Bay the Eagles haven't beaten anyone with a winning record. Now to be fair, the Cardinals during their 4 game winning streak beat 3 teams with 5 combined wins however they made a huge statement this passed Sunday hammering the Colts 40-11. Not saying the Cards are going to come in and beat up on the Eagles but they are the toughest defense the Eagles have played all season. Should be a good game and both teams need this. That said, consider you and I mortal enemies until about 5pm Sunday evening.

I don't know if Foles is the real deal or not, it depends on how this game goes, our defense is playing better. Palmer doesn't scare me one bit but the cards D does concern me

The Eagles defense gives up a lot of yards but they tend to tighten up when things get closer to their endzone. As for the Eagles offense, the reason why Foles is looking so good is because they have the best rushing offense in the league. Kelly has built a fine, balanced offense. This is a coaches dream. When you can move the ball on the ground, this opens up the passing game. It also limits blitzing because all he has to do is give it to McCoy who will run right passed the blitz so it keeps defenses honest. That said, as good as the Eagles offense is playing, they dont' score that many points. Since Foles has been the starter, take away the Oakland game and they're averaging about 20 points per game. That said, the one thing that worries me this Sunday is Celek. The Cards have been vulnerable to the tight end all season. It cost them a win in weeks 1 and 3. Then there's Carson Palmer. This is where the game lies. As he goes the team goes. If he can star error free(last 2 interceptions were nullified by penalties and a time out), then the Eagles are in for a long day because Palmer and Floyd are clicking and if you want to double team Floyd, that leaves Fitzgerald in one on one and that won't end well for the Eagles. But like I said, this game is going to be a donnybrook and it will come down to who makes the fewest mistakes.

Eagles better learn to play a full 4 quarters, im sick of seeing them score in the first 3 quarters and then ho in their shell

They better send a nice bouquet of flowers to the officials after that fiasco yesterday. The officiating was so bad even Angelo Cataldi said the Cardinals got jobbed on that holding call on the interception. The other thing that bothered my is what the schedule makers think. I'm not making excuses but how do you ask a western team to play a 1pm game on the other side of the country against a team coming off of their bye week.

Ya breaks go both ways, like how the punt return for a touchdown was called back. Shite happens.

True. So what you do is give the school staff the power to stop whatever happens. If it's verbal teasing, you give them the power to tell the kids to stop it. If it's rock throwing, you give them the...
